My simulation isn't about survival; my simulation is about enjoying as much of life as possible, warts and all.
well, then go live out in the woods and leave all electronics behind. that way you can enjoy nature. watch out for all those things that can kill or at least annoy you, like mosquitoes and biting ants. no repellant allowed.
Why would I want to give up any of those things? I can certainly enjoy life surrounded by friends, family, community, a human race, a house, property, and devices. I can even enjoy life among adversity, pain and loss.
